Revelation 3

1 ANd write vnto the Angel of the Church which is at Sardis, These things saith he that hath the seuen Spirits of God, and the seuen starres, I knowe thy workes: for thou hast a name that thou liuest, but thou art dead.

“Kwalela Moeteledipele wa Phuthego e e mo Sadisa lokwalo lo o re: molaetsa o, o romelwa ke yo o nang le mewa e supa ya Modimo le dinaledi di supa. Ke itse tumo ya gago jaaka phuthego e e tlhaga e e tshelang, mme o sule.

2 Be awake, and strengthen the things which remaine, that are readie to die: for I haue not found thy workes perfite before God.

“Mme jaanong tsoga! Nonotsha bonnye jo bo setseng, gonne le jone bonnye jo bo setseng bo tlaa tloga bo o swa. Ditiro tsa gago di kgakala le tshiamo mo matlhong a Modimo.

3 Remember therefore, how thou hast receiued and heard, and hold fast and repent. If therefore thou wilt not watch, I will come on thee as a thiefe, and thou shalt not know what houre I wil come vpon thee.

“Boela kwa go se o se utlwileng wa bo wa se dumela lwa ntlha; se tshegetse thata mme o boele mo go nna gape. Fa o sa dire jalo, ke tlaa tla ka tshoganetso mo go wena, jaaka legodu, mme ke go otlhae.

4 Notwithstanding thou hast a few names yet in Sardis, which haue not defiled their garments: and they shall walke with me in white: for they are worthy.

“Le fa go ntse jalo mo Sadisa bangwe ga ba ise ba ke ba suputse diaparo tsa bone ka leswe la lefatshe; ba tlaa tsamaya le nna ba apere bosweu, gonne ba tshwanetse.

5 He that ouercommeth, shalbe clothed in white araye, and I will not put out his name out of the booke of life, but I will confesse his name before my Father, and before his Angels.

“Mongwe le mongwe yo o fenyang o tlaa apara bosweu, mme ga nkitla ke phimola leina la gagwe mo lokwalong lwa botshelo, mme ke tlaa bolela fa pele ga ga Rre le baengele gore ke wa me.

6 Let him that hath an eare, heare, what the Spirite saith vnto the Churches.

“A botlhe ba ba utlwang, ba reetse se Mowa o se buang le diphuthego.”

7 And write vnto ye Angel of ye Church which is of Philadelphia, These things saith he that is Holy, and True, which hath ye keye of Dauid, which openeth and no man shutteth, and shutteth and no man openeth,

“Kwalela Moeteledipele wa phuthego e e mo Filadelefia lokwalo lo o re: molaetsa o lo o romeletswe ke yo o boitshepo le boammaaruri, ebile a na le dilotlole tsa ga Dafide tsa go bula se ope a se ka keng a se tswala le go tswala se ope a se ka keng a se bula.

8 I knowe thy workes: beholde, I haue set before thee an open doore, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a litle strength and hast kept my worde, and hast not denied my Name.

“Ke go itse sentle: ga o a nonofa, mme o lekile go nkutlwa e bile ga o a itatola leina la me. Jalo ke go buletse kgoro e ope a se ka keng a e tswala.

9 Behold, I will make them of the Synagogue of Satan, which call themselues Iewes, and are not, but doe lye: beholde, I say, I will make them, that they shall come and worship before thy feete, and shall knowe that I haue loued thee.

Tlhokomela se: ke tlaa pateletsa ba ba emeng nokeng maikaelelo a ga Satane, ntswa ba ipitsa ba me (mme e se bone, ba aka) go wela fa dinaong tsa gago gore ba tle ba itse fa ke go ratile.

10 Because thou hast kept the woorde of my patience, therefore I wil deliuer thee from the houre of tentation, which will come vpon all the world, to trie them that dwell vpon the earth.

“Ka ntlha ya gore o nkutlwile ka bopelotelele le fa go ne go na le dipogiso, jalo ke tlaa go sireletsa mo lobakeng lwa pitlagano e kgolo le thaelo, e e tlaa tlang mo lefatsheng go leka mongwe le mongwe yo o tshelang.

11 Beholde, I come shortly: holde that which thou hast, that no man take thy crowne.

Bona, Ke e tla ka bonako! Tshegetsa thata nonofonyana e o nang nayo, gore ope a se go tseele serwalo.

12 Him that ouercommeth, will I make a pillar in the Temple of my God, and he shall goe no more out: and I will write vpon him the Name of my God, and the name of the citie of my God, which is the newe Hierusalem, which commeth downe out of heauen from my God, and I will write vpon him my newe Name.

“Mme ene yo o fenyang, ke tlaa mo dira pinagare mo tempeleng ya Modimo wa me; o tlaa babalesega, mme ga a kitla a tlhola a tswela kwa ntle; mme ke tlaa kwala leina la Modimo wa me mo go ene, mme o tlaa nna monni wa motse wa Modimo wa me, Jerusalema yo mosha, yo o fologang kwa legodimong a tswa kwa Modimong wa me, le leina la me le lesha le tlaa kwalwa mo go ene.

13 Let him that hath an eare, heare what ye Spirit saith vnto the Churches.

“A botlhe ba ba utlwang, ba reetse se Mowa o se buang le diphuthego.”

14 And vnto the Angell of the Church of the Laodiceans write, These things saieth Amen, the faithfull and true witnesse, that beginning of the creatures of God.

“Kwalela moeteledipele wa phuthego e e mo Laodisia lokwalo lo o re: molaetsa o o tswa kwa go ene yo o emeng a nitame, Mosupi yo o ikanyegang wa boammaaruri. (Wa gone gotlhe mo go teng kgotsa mo go neng go le teng, kgotsa mo go tlaa nnang teng ka metlha).

15 I knowe thy woorkes, that thou art neither colde nor hote: I woulde thou werest colde or hote.

“Ke go itse sentle, ga o molelo e bile ga o tsididi; ke eletsa o ka bo o ne o le molelo kgotsa o le tsididi.

16 Therefore, because thou art luke warme, and neither colde nor hote, it will come to passe, that I shall spewe thee out of my mouth.

Mme e re ka o le motlha fela, ke tlaa go tlhatsa mo molomong wa me!

17 For thou saiest, I am rich and increased with goods, and haue neede of nothing, and knowest not howe thou art wretched and miserable, and poore, and blinde, and naked.

“O ithaya o re, ‘Ke humile, ka sengwe le sengwe se ke se batlang; ga ke tlhoke sepe!’ Mme ga o lemoge gore mo semoweng o latlhegile, o tlhomola pelo, o mohumanegi, o sefofu ebile ga o a ikatega.

18 I counsell thee to bye of me gold tried by the fire, that thou maiest bee made rich: and white raiment, that thou maiest be clothed, and that thy filthie nakednesse doe not appeare: and anoynt thine eyes with eye salue, that thou maiest see.

“Kgakololo ya me mo go wena ke gore o reke gauta e e itshekileng mo go nna, e e itshekisitsweng ka molelo, ke gone o tlaa bong o humile ka boammaaruri. Le gore o reke mo go nna diaparo tse di tshweu tse di phepa tse di itshekileng, gore o se ka wa bonala o sa ikatega le fa e le go tlhajwa ke ditlhong; le go tsaya molemo mo go nna go alafa matlho a gago gore o boelwe ke pono ya gago gape.

19 As many as I loue, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore and amend.

“Ke tsweletse ka go laya ke bo ke otlhaya mongwe le mongwe yo ke mo ratang; jalo ke tshwanetse go go otlhaya, fa o sa sokologe mo boitlhokomolosong jwa gago mme wa nna le ke-letso ya kgatlhego mo dilong tsa Modimo.

20 Behold, I stand at the doore, and knocke. If any man heare my voice and open ye doore, I wil come in vnto him, and will suppe with him, and he with me.

“Bona! Ke eme fa kgorong ga ke khutlise go kokota. Fa mongwe a nkutlwa ke mmitsa a bo a bula kgoro, ke tlaa tsena ke tsalana nae le ene a tsalana le nna.

21 To him that ouercommeth, will I graunt to sit with me in my throne, euen as I ouercame, and sit with my Father in his throne.

Ke tlaa letla mongwe le mongwe yo o fenyang gore a nne go bapa le nna mo setilong sa me sa Bogosi, fela jaaka le nna ke tshotse bonno go bapa le Rre mo setilong sa gagwe sa Bogosi, fa ke se na go fenya.

22 Let him that hath an eare, heare what the Spirit saieth vnto the Churches.

A ba ba nang le kutlo, ba reetse se Mowa o se buang le diphuthego.”
